The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

[Margaret E Atwood @MargaretAtwood]

Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.)

John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where “welcomed rape” is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid’s Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.

At the end of the day, the top 1% may have enormous wealth and power, but they are just 1%.

When the 99% stand together, we can transform our country.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Today we’re in Greeley, Colorado where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans refuses to hold a town hall.

So we came instead to fill the gap.

Rep. Evans, your constituents say hi! 👋🏽

There’s a couple thousand more outside too. They have some questions about your cuts to veterans care.

Good morning all.

I've been spending days reporting on what is happening within the federal workforce, and will spend the weekend on it.

There is a lot to say.

But I want to start with a few posts about USAID.

Yesterday, @elonmusk’s Twitter labeled NPR “state-affiliated media,” even though the company’s own policy stated the organization shouldn’t be labeled as such because it has editorial independence (left).

Hours later, Twitter removed the reference to NPR in the policy (right).

Fabulous thread on Sanora Babb. Will be of interest to @FiMAssociation followers. Thank you @SkylerSchrempp!

@ZoeLaHenry @MModernity This piece truly reorients and beautifully contextualizes the stairwell, esp with a reading of that scene from The Street that is such a difficult one to approach with students in my Gender in ModLit classroom. Hope to see you, Zoë, @ PDX!
